Who would suspect that the same mind that created the most famous literary detective of all time also took on the eternally popular genre of vampires? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a contemporary of Bram Stoker, gave us some fascinating works of vampire fiction. From the bloodsucking plant in "The American's Tale" to the bloodsucking wife in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire," he reveled in the horror created by creatures who survived on the blood of men and women.

As the best-selling Twilight series has dominated bookstores, it's the perfect time to offer the first-ever compilation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's vampire tales. Get ready to sink your teeth into this heart-stopping anthology. Each of these 12 short stories has been pulled from obscurity and hand selected for this collection. Conan Doyle's famous friendship with vampire king Bram Stoker is thought to have influenced these many blood-sucking tales, including "The Captain of the Pole Star," about a medical student on an arctic voyage haunted by a heat-draining Eskimo vampire and "The Three Gables," in which vampirism is cunningly used as a metaphor for capitalism.Featuring an introduction by world-renowned vampire expert, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, this is a must-have anthology for all vampire lovers, and for any Arthur Conan Doyle enthusiast.

Editör yorumları

Although many of the stories in this collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's vampire tales are steeped in horror and foreboding, narrator Stephen Menasche does not produce a heavy-handed performance. Instead, he draws listeners close with his ability to create the personalities and feelings of the characters - from the Captain's growing paranoia and psychosis in "The Captain of the Pole Star" to the menace under the sweetness of Miss Northcott in "John Barrington Cowles".

Although classic vampires make an appearance in some of the stories, this anthology goes beyond typical monster tales and explores the theme of vampirism itself.

While the stories are interesting, there are next to no vampires and the narration is far too modern to properly match the atmosphere of the stories. It spoils it quite a lot.

Next to no vampires

Stories were entertaining but the endings are a bit unsatisfying. The narrator’s accents, including British English are so distractingly poor! I couldn’t understand what he was saying in some stories.

I am a big fan of Conan Doyle and was looking forward to these stories as I've never heard them before. I now wish I had just read them as I was disappointed by the performer. I found him difficult to listen to due to his awful accents and lack of emotion in his reading. I also don't understand why an American was used for a set of stories that was, not only written by an Englishman (Scot), but also staring mainly uk characters. The Scottish/Jamaican/Indian on was the worst. The stories themselves are varied and nicely old school horror, so enjoyable if you can get past the

good stories, bad performance

I just couldn’t get into these stories due to awful narration. His jerky and erratic cadence (sometimes fast, then slow and over enunciated, then fast again…) and intonation makes it impossible to follow the sense of what he’s saying - it’s just like someone’s reading a random list of words with no regard for the structure of the text or the punctuation.

Hard to follow

Heartbroken I couldn't finish this as I was so excited to find it but the narrator has no business in this career. He sounded like he was reading aloud for the first time and mispronounced so many words it became difficult to follow the story. Gutted.

Dreadful narrator
